Hi guys, having done a little research into the school it seems like a great foreign option - 1st world country, available loans, partnership with Duke University. However, I have questions:
1) In terms of service commitment, how are those 5 years spent? Are you a resident or a doctor? if a resident, is your residency counted in the US, or do you have to complete ANOTHER residency when you come back to US soil?
2) Are you allowed to continue practicing in Singapore as a physician after finishing the 5 year obligation, if you so choose? Is it hard for a physician to obtain permanent residency, or even citizenship?
3) Is everything in English, or is learning Chinese/Malay/Tamil expected?
